walmart and amazon you make about 10% which is pretty good, amazon will continue to grow faster with the second wave of quantum dc, walmart will keep growing steadily, amazon has outsize capex - this is a bit risky but the mkt will absorb - the demand for ai is that great - with rubin tokens are cheaper to produce. the consumer and smb mkt will remain under pressure until dc pull nirvana hits #photonics #quantum psi

The EU-funded X-PIC project has developed a compact platform to generate & manipulate extreme UV light pulses. Once possible only with metre-long setups, this breakthrough opens new possibilities in spectroscopy, photolithography & imaging.

Seowon & Jonathan worked together in the Fattahi group on observing non-Hermitian edge modes.

Seowon is from Korea & studied at @FAU. Her previous work as embedded programmer for optical systems sparked her interest for optical systems.

Jonathan is a #physics student at FAU & #research assistant at MPL. He is driven by curiosity to understand the unknown.

@HennaVirkkunen A question whether this AI investment support will go to the sectors where EU companies have the advantage, like photonic computing?

Developing new models to be computed with American hardware instead of cutting-edge European hardware (with capabilities of scaling way beyond traditional silicon) could become counter-productive..

I made public today the repository of #cRCWA, a simulation software dedicated to #photonics. It can be used with diffraction gratings, photonic crystals, as other implementations of the #RCWA method. It can also provide PML for nonperiodic structures like optical #waveguides and handle bent structures. Written in C++, it can be used with a simple scripting language or as a module in larger Python scripts. Here it is: https://github.com/cRCWA/cRCWA #OpenSource #Physics #OpenScience

In many #quantum #technologies – not least quantum #computing – information is stored in delicate patterns of these interactions, known as coherences. When these coherences are lost, information disappears – a process known as decoherence.
